AMEC Awards Dinner 2023

The AMEC Award Dinner is an opportunity to recognise the outstanding contributors to the mineral and mining industry in six categories:

AMEC Prospector Award
The prestigious AMEC Prospector Award for individual endeavour in the field of mineral exploration was first presented by AMEC in 1993. It is given to the individual/s who made the most outstanding mineral deposit discovery within recent years. The award is made in recognition of the discovery itself, as well as the individual/s or team that discovered it, rather than the company.

AMEC Environment Award
The AMEC Environment Award reflects the importance of managing environmental impacts of mineral mining and exploration projects. It is made to a company that goes above and beyond in their management of environmental impacts or is developing innovative methods to achieve better long term environmental outcomes.

AMEC Community Contribution Award
The AMEC Community Contribution Award reflects the importance of partnerships between mineral exploration and mining companies and the communities they operate in. It is intended to recognise companies who are collaborating with the community in emerging and established partnerships to provide sustainable and enduring benefits to communities.

AMEC Diversity & Inclusion Award
The AMEC Diversity and Inclusion Award reflects the importance of encouraging and providing for diversity and inclusion in the mining and exploration industry. It recognises a company that has made an outstanding endeavour to encourage diversity and foster inclusion in our industry. By embracing and encouraging diversity, our industry can attract and retain skilled and talented employees that contribute to a safe, inclusive, and productive mining and exploration industry in Australia.

AMEC Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Empowerment Award
The AMEC Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Empowerment Award recognises extraordinary industry programs and initiatives that support and empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees, contractors, and their communities. The Award recognises the importance of supporting the wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and to empower and create opportunities for them in the mining and exploration industry and in their communities.
